The rescue happened in an area where a new housing plan is under construction on Marburger Road.

The first reports of entrapment came in around 8:30 a.m. The worker was freed shortly after 11 a.m. and carried to a medical helicopter that was waiting on the ground. No information on his condition is available yet.

Andrew Hammond of the NHL's Ottawa Senators, aka The Hamburglar, is getting free McDonald's for life. Patrick Jones (@Patrick_E_Jones) wonders if that would still be the case if he's traded to the rival Toronto Maple Leafs.

McDonald's is supposedly considering adding popular health food kale to the menu. It would be part of a series of changes made to help the fast food chain's image. Patrick Jones (@Patrick_E_Jones) has the rest.

The company said in a statement that the test is in response to customers who have said they'd like to eat breakfast foods outside the typical morning hours that they are served.

The world's largest restaurant chain said the test will include a partial menu and feature some of McDonald's breakfast sandwiches and hash browns. The company didn't say which sandwiches would make the cut.

Fans of McDonald's breakfast menu have long wanted the option to get breakfast at McDonald's after 10:30 a.m. But offering both the breakfast and lunch menu had been considered logistically impossible, given the tight kitchen spaces of the restaurants.

McDonald's had even tweeted about the topic in February, saying it doesn't serve breakfast all day because its grills "just aren't big enough for breakfast and lunch."

Still, Jeff Stratton, head of McDonald's USA, said in an interview with The Associated Press that same month that the company was taking a look at how it could make breakfast available later in the day.

The push to make breakfast outside normal hours partly reflects how McDonald's is working to keep pace with shifting habits. In particular, executives have noted that customers increasingly want foods personalized to their tastes and schedules.

McDonald's said Monday that it was too early to speculate on any outcomes from the test.

Janney Capital Markets had released an analyst note earlier Monday saying that their industry sources had told them that McDonald's planned to test all-day breakfast in the U.S. The analyst note was released before McDonald's confirmed the report.

"Having those breakfast items available to sell all day would also serve as a reminder to customers (and the media. and Wall Street.) that McDonald's does indeed have craveable food to sell," Janney analyst Mark Kalinowski wrote.

According to an email from Pittsburgh Public Safety spokeswoman Sonya Toler, a Local employee was escorting Evan Blodgett, 25, out of the bar when the man became combative.

Two officers handcuffed Blodgett, but he continued to throw punches and lunge away from officers, police said. Two bags of frozen food that had allegedly been removed from Local's kitchen were found in his pants, Toler said.

At the same time, an officer was arresting a man outside Mario’s with a perimeter of officers around him. Zachary Willis, 21 of Finleyville, broke through the police perimeter and tried to speak to the man, Toler said. An officer was able to get Willis back into the crowd, but Willis allegedly began pushing the officer.

The officer told Willis that he was under arrest, but Willis pushed the officer over and other officers took him down, Toler said.

Destinee Knox, 23, of Washington, tried to talk with Willis as the arrest was happening, ignoring police instructions to stay back, leading to her arrest as well, Toler said. After being handcuffed, Knox allegedly kicked at the officer multiple times.

Blodgett was taken to the Allegheny County Jail and charged with disorderly conduct, simple assault, public drunkenness and theft, police said.

Willis was taken to UPMC Mercy Hospital before being taken to jail. He and Knox face charges that include aggravated assault, obstructing the administration of law and resisting arrest, police said.

Staff members at Mario's and Local declined to comment to Pittsburgh's Action News 4.

Councilwoman Darlene Harris says it was entrusted to her to protect it from possible destruction

More than $2,000 in taxpayer money was spent for a plaque to name a city soccer field after ex-Mayor Luke Ravenstahl, but nearly a year-and-a-half later, the plaque sits instead in the protective care of Councilwoman Darlene Harris.

Ravenstahl had championed pittsburgh spending $2.3 Million dollars for a state-of-the art soccer field here at the North Side's Riverview Park. Late in Ravenstahl's term, his Operations Director Duane Ashley spent $2,096 in city money for the plaque that would have named it Ravenstahl Field.

"It's in my office," Harris told Pittsburgh's Action News 4.

She acknowledged the naming the soccer field never went through the required nomination or City Council approval first. She says she was enlisted by an outgoing Ravenstahl appointee early in Mayor Bill Peduto's term to be the plaque's protector.

"I was asked by the director of Public Works to keep it so it wasn't taken away and destroyed," Harris said. When asked who might destroy it, Harris said, "You'll have to ask Director Kaczorowski."

Former Public Works Director Rob Kaczoroski declined to comment when reached by Pittsburgh's Action News reporter Bob Mayo.

The plaque is now in Harris' office.

"No I'm not the keeper of public plaques but that is where it ended up coming," she said.

Peduto is asking council to approve new rules that would require that no city property be named after a nominee until at least three years after their death. That would affect the proposal to name the soccer field after Ravenstahl.

Harris said she was awaiting a public unveiling of the plaque before introducing a resolution in council to name the field after Ravenstahl. It's been 15 months since the former mayor left office.

Peduto indicated that Ashley did not have the unilateral authority to name the field after Ravenstahl, even under existing city rules.

"Any public property has to be part of a public approval, You can't just do it by yourself," Peduto said.

Harris feels the city should install the plaque at the field.

"I think it should go up," she said.

In Ravenstahl's last year in office, the city purchased 132 recycling bins with his name on them for $1,100 each.

Additional debate and a final vote on revised rules for naming city property is on the agenda for City Council's legislative meeting on Tuesday.

LATER, IT STILL HASN'T HAPPENED. BOB MAYO LOOKS AT WHAT IS GOING ON HERE. $2,000 IN TAXPAYER MONEY SPENT FOR A PLAQUE TO RENAME THIS SOCCER FIELD AFTER EX MAYOR LUKE RAVENSTALL.

DARLENE HARRIS ACKNOWLEDGES THE NAMING OF THE SOCCER FIELD NEVER WENT THROUGH PROPER COUNCIL APPROVAL FIRST BUT WAS ENLISTED BY AN APPOINTEE TO BE THE PLAQUE'S PROTECTOR. I WAS ASKED BY THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS TO KEEP IT SO THAT IT WASN'T TAKEN AWAY AND DESTROYED. WHO? YOU WILL HAVE TO ASK THE DIRECTOR. WE DID REACH HIM BUT HE HAS NO COMMENT. YOU'RE NOT THE KEEPER OF PUBLIC PLAQUES, RIGHT? NO, I'M NOT THE KEEPER OF PUBLIC PLAQUES. BUT THAT IS WHERE IT ENDED UP COMING. MATER IS ASKING COUNCIL TO APPROVE NEW RULES THAT WOULD REQUIRE SOMEONE BE DEAD AT LEAST THREE YEARS BEFORE PUBLIC PROPERTY, LIKE THE SOCCER FIELD, IS NAMED FOR THEM. ANY PUBLIC PROPERTY HAS TO BE A PART OF A PUBLIC APPROVAL. YOU CAN'T JUST DO IT BY YOURSELF. WHAT DO YOU THINK SHOULD HAPPEN TO IT? I THINK IT SHOULD GO UP. ?
